Attach invoice PDF with 1st of month email notification...
Please attach the invoice PDF to the 1st of the month email notification. Or make it a settings options for users to have this. It would just make accounts filing easier as I'd have a copy of the invoice without having to log in to my account and download each an every invoice. Cheers!

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for your reply, sounds great, will open a support ticket and see how
it goes.
I would be fine with creating a filter for the emails and forwarding to my
accountant, so that solves the team member question.
Have a great day!

Hey There,
The invoices are sent to everyone as attachments. Since you are not receiving them, I would suggest to open a ticket with our support team and we can take it from there (I would have opened a ticket on your behalf but we need account details to troubleshoot the issue).Â
As for an additional email address for invoices, this is available today for team accounts (https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/accounts/teams/). You can setup someone to receive billing emails with a "Billing" role. We also understand this may not work for everyone and for that we are considering an option to be able to define a billing email for non-team accounts as well.
Always happy to get feedback.

I don't receive invoices attached to the emails, only a download invoice button, why is this marked as shipped?
I think may would appreciate the possibility to choose if we want our invoices sent to us or just a link, and it would be a bonus if we could specify an email address to which we want the invoice to be sent to.
The main goal of this idea was not to have to login to get to our invoices...
Â
...pretty please

About time! Please, we need this asap!

Oh thank god! "Planned" notification. Woot!

also please add a config option to have this invoice sent to a separate email address. It's 2018, automated accounting is a real thing.

Please add this!! It has been annoying me for years. Especially if you have several accounts all with two factor authentification. Its just unnecessary to have to login into each and every account, click through to the billing area, search for the latest invoice and than download it if you could just attach it like other companies do directly to the email.

It would be super awesome to receive the invoice via mail since our accounting department should not login into the digital ocean account. its a hassle (2-factor auth) and it doesnt make sense. and we have to do it every month. pretty please, attach the PDF to the notification email.

Another reason, right now we have to give the login to all the tech stuff to accounts so that they can download the incvoice (or an admin has to forward the invoice by hand)

In line with Pat Erler's suggestion I'd find convenient adding an extra email account for billing notifications with the pdf invoices attached.

Giving this 3 votes.
For my accounting, I need to have all my invoices printed each quarter, it would be cool if DigitalOcean can send those by email again so we, the professional clients, got a better overview of the expenses and can print them directly.
Shouldn't be much work to add one checkbox 'email new invoices' at the preferences/billing page I assume?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be too hard to implement, since you already have the generation of PDFs in your web interface... Seeing from the csfr token on the admin interface, it looks like a Ruby on Rails app, and guessing from that, you might have either Sidekiq, Delayed Job or similar doing the monthly emails about billing?

Or being able to send the invoice to a new mail, so the accountant receives the invoice each month!

I agree. Especially if you enabled two factor authentication. Logging in and downloading the pdf is just unnecessary overhead.
Attachments Open full size
Totally agreed. Or have a direct link to the PDF file - Linode does that and it is so much easier.
I hope it will be the new norm for all SaaS vendors.

Send invoices with PDF attachments every 1st of month and allow users to choose on which email to receive them.

Totally agree to have some feature like this. I have to forward the bill to finance. If would easier if I can set the email to go to them directly instead of having to retrieve the pdf and send it to them.

Yes please!

This would be very practical!
